A large modern house with dormer windows protruding from an expansive roof, peering over tall brick walls designed to put off the nosy.
A coughing, spluttering heavy goods vehicle hurtling towards me.
A ‘For Sale’ sign attached to the front garden post of the ‘mansion’.
A tightly wrinkled brown hand tapping on the low brick wall of my handkerchief sized front garden.
A mature tree, always there, over the road, now shedding orange leaves, shaking them over the tall brick wall, into the path of oncoming lorries.
The gateless entrance to my front garden.
The smokeless chimney pot over the road, letting go of nothing.
A busy road, a small child.
Fear.
